LabView

My point was that that functionality is provided at source in CVI as just
one of the series of Windows events that can be processed. Why would you
develop on a system different to the final target?

I remembered that somebody did a similar comparison between Visual Basic and Visual C++ (posting in a VB newsgroup). Thus, it's not fair to compare FLEXIBLE vs. FAST and tell us which one is more flexible.

Not quite with you there. I was trying to say that the speed of Labview is
more illusory than real.

And theres no point posting to the converted 🙂

- But you say that after several days with LV and several years with LWCVI ... I will be happy to hear your opinion after 1 year.

🙂 well, we'll be glad to have some CIN problems resolved easier ...

good luck

It is not my intention to get into this discussion. I just want to mention that LabVIEW is my favorite programming environment, and that I don't see the following happening in LabVIEW:

Evolution

It may be just a joke, but there is a truth in it.

I get the point, but you can't see ANYTHING happening in Labview!

ps. The management part is, of course, totally accurate.

To see things happening in LabVIEW, just turn on the lightbulb! (Highlight Execution)

Enrique, your 'Evolution' link is totally hilarious! Makes you wonder, if you're going to do software work, why do Labview, when you could enjoy all that typing and syntax fun?
I'll take Labview any day too!

One drawback with Labview is that you can print out n thousand lines of
source code and it looks impressive (albeit being totally useless). Print
out labview "code" and it looks not too dissimilar to what my toddler
produces with multicoloured wax crayons 🙂

In order to avoid complains regarding 'The Evolution' let's append this picture to it 🙂
Thus, the LabVIEW proGrammer will be in … and I think that even the Chief Executive will understand 🙂
